There's no better way to learn professional responsibility than by discussing it over a hefeweizen or two with some professionals, right? Tonight the lawyers, engineers, and business professionals met at the Draught House to celebrate ending semesters for some, the finishing of law school for others, and successful doctoral programs for yet a few more. It was such a pleasant night, all of us squeezed around a table on the patio, discussing very little of anything related to law or engineering. It's easy to get wrapped up in and only talk about law, so it was really refreshing to escape it tonight. I'm looking forward to summer happy hours, unencumbered by the voice in the back of my head telling me I really should be studying.
Three down, one final and one paper to go. It was difficult to get motivated to study for my evidence exam. I had my mnemonics and I knew I would be taking the Texas and federal rules of evidence into the exam with me, so I just didn't have the fear in me as with other exams. Sometimes semi-open exams are a bit more challenging than closed book exams because of the false sense of security. However challenging today's exam was or was not (I genuinely have no idea how to describe it), a little over three hours and thirty seven pages of questions later, evidence is now behind me. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I thought I had an extra fifteen minutes and found myself in a bit of a rush when five minutes was called. We'll see how it all shakes out in a few weeks.
